Chapter 519: They Were Followed
Huo Yao was resting her eyes but she opened them when she heard what Zhuo Yun asked. She contemplated briefly and recalled how Yang Yi was at her place this afternoon.
She pondered for two seconds before she replied calmly. “It was just some random brand that I bought online, so I don’t quite remember the name.”
Zhuo Yun almost mistook the accelerator as the brake, so the car wobbled a little.
What was she saying?
Was she able to purchase a security system from DO Corporation randomly online when their products were not even open to the public for purchase?
How could she call the top security company in the world some random brand?
Was Miss Huo mistaken about what it meant to be some unknown brand?
Zhuo Yun looked confused. He suddenly had the urge to investigate the DO Corporation so that he could teach her what they were about.
After some time, Zhuo Yun said profoundly, “I think I want to buy the random security system you are using at home too.”
Huo Yao glanced at him before she replied. “Then you can keep dreaming.”
Zhuo Yun went speechless. “…”
Min Yu’s lips twitched. He seemed accustomed to Huo Yao’s lies. Since he would not be able to squeeze anything out of her, he cleared his throat and said to Zhuo Yun, “Just focus on driving.”
Zhuo Yun stopped talking.
Min Yu leaned his arm against the door casually with his hand against his temple. He looked sideways and looked at Huo Yao every now and then, in deep thought.
It seemed that the girl had a lot of secrets.
Huo Yao automatically ignored the man’s stares. She tilted her head against the seat and rested her eyes.
In an instant, it became completely quiet inside the car.
Zhuo Yun glanced at the rearview mirror before he moved his eyes and focused on driving.
However, Zhuo Yun suddenly noticed that they were being followed for some time now.
Even though the people following them were a few cars behind and seemed to be highly skilled, they did not escape Zhuo Yun’s detection.
He narrowed his eyes. He did not turn into the estate at the next intersection. Instead, he made a turn and sped up.
Huo Yao opened her eyes and glanced out of the car window. She could not help raising her brow when she noticed that he was not driving on the main road but on a one-way street.
Zhuo Yun kept making turns and changing the route in the back alleys until he finally threw the tail off.
He heaved a sigh of relief before heading back to the estate.
Damn it! Who on earth sent those people? That tail was so hard to shake that he had to spend 20 minutes escaping them.
Zhuo Yun glanced into the rearview mirror. Huo Yao was sitting quietly in the backseat. She did not seem to notice anything to be amiss, so he felt relieved.
The Min clan was the leader of all elite families in the capital, so it was no surprise that the other clans kept tabs on Min Yu. Also, it was no secret that Min Yu was unwell and countless people had secretly made attempts on his life.
It was commonplace for Min Yu to get followed. But Huo Yao had never experienced such danger before. If she was not in the car, it would not have been as simple as shaking off the tail.
Zhuo Yun gathered his thoughts and decelerated to a normal speed.
They arrived at the estate entrance ten minutes later.
Zhuo Yun pulled up outside the Huo residence. Huo Yao bid farewell to Min Yu before getting out of the car.
Zhuo Yun started the engine after Huo Yao entered the villa.
